The Health Ministry in Gaza said three civilians were lightly wounded in one of the Israeli strikes. “The (Israeli military) sees this as a severe event and we know exactly who conducted this attack,” said Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus. He said Islamic Jihad was behind the mortars but that Israel held Hamas responsible for any attacks emanating from Gaza. It said train service in southern Israel was briefly halted after the mortar attack. The Palestinians, however, said that 47-year-old Mahmoud Odeh was shot while working on his land in the northern West Bank village.
